This… is a fair explanation for why.

Still waiting for a more efficient explanation of everything than "Everyone got brain damage from Covid": the airline executives charging a $155 predatory premium for legroom, the guy deciding to customize his own flight experience, the chain of command aborting the whole flight—busted mind-traffic!

Nearly a year later, we finally *may* have some answers (innocent until proven guilty) about one of the fires that devastated LA in January.

If this all proves true, I hope the survivors who lost homes and loved ones file a class action suit against Open AI.

Communities have more power than they think

Research on Walmart found that they avoided opening in towns where there were protests (Ingram, Yue, & Rao, 2010). And goldmines with community opposition are worth less (Henisz, Dorobantu, & Nartey, 2014)

Long story short - data centers can be stopped

I’ve been circling a cursed thought for a while and it’s time to let it out: These guys are Disney Adults for fascism.

Basically this was the entire logic fo neoliberalism and globalization - yes lots of job destruction, but prices falling on all kinds of goods and new jobs in new areas. It was taken as gospel that all of it was a net benefit, but that's a bit harder argument to make these days.

I was working an entire essay on this very notion this summer and this is reminding me I should pick it back up. TL;DR - every price is someone else's income and whether prices going down on something is "good" depends a whole lot on what you do for a living.

look I am not his audience and know very little about Bad Bunny but an extremely cursory google search tells me that he is in fact one of the most popular entertainers in the world today

They’re just gonna do a little lite slavery.

If you genuinely think that the alleged costs of an aging society can be compensated for by greater taxes on high income childless people then it can be compensated for by greater taxes on high income people /period/ and therefore it does not justify singling out the childless.

i've roasted a canada goose before and it was delicious, so, this checks out

yeah this is just obviously true and revealed preferences confirm it. it’s an argument for heavy state subsidy of children

The Super Bowl is when children all across this country try to find out which silverware fits in the electrical outlet best

You're six. The Super Bowl is on. What are you doing? Obviously you are off doing stuff you aren't supposed to be doing because everyone is watching the Super Bowl

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

I’m a bad Canadian - I don’t like maple flavouring in general and real maple syrup in particular. I do like the fake stuff (which is apparently flavoured with a fenugreek derovative)

nope. Sorry.
